Millicant Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hehe yeah link is to "Create a new topic in the Dark Angels Forum" That's interesting though - I've always felt an emphasis on Interrogator-Chaplains would be appropriate fluff-wise, but gameplay-wise it has been irrelevant until now. I'm assuming that it would include some definite changes to the Chaplain unit/role. We shall see, shan't we!

Brother-Sergeant Bohemond Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I love the idea of plasma tanks :D But not so much the idea of lots of chaplains, I mean, how can I fit 11 men in a Rhino?

Candleshoes Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 http://www.warseer.com/forums/showthread.p...68-DA-rumor-bit Here is a working link. Interesting bit of rumor regarding DA. Next incarnation will see expanded use of chaplains. Rumor is they may be able to be taken in groups and assigned to lead troops, like wolf guard. If solo they stay elite slot, if Interrogator they are hq. Interesting to see if it pans out. No word on if/when Codex might be coming. Cheers Another little very tenuous bit. Heard this stuff elsewhere before, however coming thru a more trusted source now... Rumor of plasma cannon sponsons on DA tanks. And a special Plasma main gun predator or vindicator... Again...tenuous...salt standing by. Any other rumormongers wanting to weigh in? Yay for all of this if it is true... my "Terror Marking" commendation marine could now be used as a squad level chaplain, rather than a normal marine! Black Templar players probably won't be too happy about this one, as it is somethinhg that rumors have said that they would get on and off... if we were to get them :D I also think getting some niche vehicles is pretty cool if true, I don't mind plasma based tanks in the slightest.

Marshal Rohr Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Im guessing all the rumors we heard for Templars are actually Dark Angels rumors. Chapter Champion character, Knights of the Inner Circle Honor Guard unit with parry rule, focus on allowing lots of marines to be taken. etc. Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247473-some-new-da-specific-rumours-on-warseer/#findComment-2996429 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Interrogator Stobz Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm guessing that too, there are plenty of shared styles in our artwork so it could still go either way. I certainly hope not, I hope we as the First Legion of the First Founding get the love. But that would be bad news for all you over zealous BT players and I feel for you all :lol: I'm not biased ;P s Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247473-some-new-da-specific-rumours-on-warseer/#findComment-2996465 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interrogator Stobz Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 All interweb rumours are "made up". Some are just closer to the truth by accident or design. Hell we are apparently getting a new dex this year based on two WD spines and some other "reliable" interweb sources plucking probabilities based on past GW activitly.

Mercy 0f Spades Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Rumor or not I want more plasma! The whole reason I chose Dark Angels to begin with (this is years ago, mind you) was that their chapter had a greater affinity for using Plasma weapons than any other chapter. In my army list I try to fill up the special weapons with plasma guns as much as possible. Now... all I really wants is a Str 7 AP 2 Gets Hot! Template weapon... that's all I'm asking for. And this isn't too far fetched of an idea- just look at the Necron's Mind Shackle Scarabs or the Grey Knights.... well, the entire Grey Knights' codex. I don't care if the weapon is on a vehicle or if it's being carried by a circus clown dressed up like Cypher... Please, GW... hear my request!

Captain Semper Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Not so sure I like the idea of Chaplains in groups... I think it makes them less unique. To me Chaplains (Interrogator or otherwise) should be rare, thus underlying their super-elite status. I do like normal Chaplain being Elites and Int. Chaplains being HQ - makes sense in the DA context. On plasma, I guess this would be a follow up of the legacy of the 3rd ed. Let's see- am neutral on it.

Chaplain Lucifer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I'm cautious about Chaplain news. It will either mean chaplains will be cheaper but with diluted stats and powers or that they'll remain the same thus presenting an expensive (at best) option to use in smaller games. Not to thrilled about the plasma news, they seem to try to shoehorn in the plasma theme once again.

riddles Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 well, if they are in the vein of sang guard or wolf guard, it will be interesting to see what they do. Wolf Guard - extra pip of leadership. addition of power fist/weapon/combi weapon Sang Guard - FNP bubble So mini chaplains - re-rolls to hit on the charge? because we have sooooo many useful ccombat units. fearless bubble? more of a hinderance than a help.

Brother Landrain Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I like the idea of buying Chaplains as elites and sending them to lead squads, similar to Wolfguard leading packs. I am concerned that they will cheapen the Chaplains, ie..1W etc. I also wonder about if they will change the Liturgies... I would prefer the Space Wolf version, where Chaplains give Preferred Enemy instead of just rerolls on the charge. Also, if the rumour about Prefered enemy working for ranged attacks in 6th edition, this would be a serious boost to our firepower... I also wonder, if regular Chaplains will be allowed JP's, Bikes, or TDA with this format. Or if we need Int-Chaplain for TDA. I assume, that the Chaplains will make the squad Fearless. Also, I would hope that all DA Tacticals would get Bolter, boltpistol, Close Combat weapon like Grey Hunters. As getting boosted by Chaplains in close combat is nice, but having that CCW adds a lot. Plasma Sponsons on Predators with a Plasma Main Gun would be awesome... Since the Imperial Guard already get this on a Leman Russ Chassis. Now a Hurricane Plasma Weapon option on a Landraider would be cool too, along with replacing the assault cannon with twin-linked Plasma Cannon.. Lastly replacing SB's on Rhinos with Plasma Guns, also would be cool. Overall, these rumours seem to track with a lot of the ideas we have discussed in the Unforgiven Codex Forum... would be a change if GW actually listened to the players wants/needs for a change ^_^ :) Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/247473-some-new-da-specific-rumours-on-warseer/#findComment-2996708 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grimdarkness Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The chaplain,s could be a sarg swap to lead squads. As for plasma if they want to include it make it a free upgrade to plasma combi plasma weapons. I.M.O plasma dose not make the Dark Angles.

Xyon Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well, sounds similar to the company hero idea I had in the unforgiven development, except maybe just limited to chaplains, basically the same thing wolfguard-like option for DA that can detach to join squads, and plasma guns? I allways thought exicutioner plasma should be a regular option for predators. At least I feel better that my opinion fits closer to the developer's opinion of DA stuff at least in the regard of chaplains, suck it people who didnt like my idea.

As for plasma if they want to include it make it a free upgrade to plasma combi plasma weapons. I.M.O plasma dose not make the Dark Angles. Whilst I agree that Plasma never used to be a DA thing (going back to 2nd edition here, I have no knowledge of 3rd and 4th), I do seem to recall something about us "holding on to more old tech" than other chapters. Maybe someone could help me with a citation as I cant sorry! I think the inclusion of more plasma weoponry reflects this quite elegantly. I'd be very please to see some new (old) plasma patterns of vehicle for us to use too. As for the chapain rumour, I quite like it, but what about calling them "Deathwing Sargants", rather that chaplains. What I mean is give our Daethwing in power armour a more company chapain like vibe. I think Grimdarness could be on to something here. Cheers Smellyfox PS edit... sorry for the many spelling errors!

Raibaru Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Back in third edition only the Dark Angels could get plasma cannons in their tactical squads if memory serves. Codex also said something along the lines of them having access to the most ancient weapons. I believe another pace it mentions that since they are the first legion they also have first pick off the assembly line. Been awhile since I played so can't recall precisely. And each tactical squad being lead by a true veteran of the dark angels' first company to keep their hunt for the fallen a secret to the newly initiated is very much in line with the story. Perhaps this is what they meant by 'chaplains'.

MadDoc Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 Those rumours resemble some of the more off-base (and therefore my least favourite) suggestions to come up in the Unforgiven Rules Development forum alittle too much for me to take them too seriously. :no: Multiple Chaplains bought as a single Elites slot? ;) Why? Units of Chaplains that can be broken off to join other squads ala WG? <_< No thanks. :D Basic Chaplains in Elites & Interrogator-Chaplains in HQ? Yes please. :tu: And enough already with the trying to reinforce the stupid plasma fetish that Jervis' poor attempt at fixing the weak v1 3E Codex created. DA do not equal Plasma. I hope that (beyond the shift of basic Chaplains to Elites) these rumours don't pan out.
